Lives will continue to be at risk for as long as WT parades spiritual twoddle as medical advice.
Black Box Warning for WT: This phoney baloney medical advice is brought to you by a corrupt religious organization.
a new article by s. sparrow, published today at ajwrb, investigates dr. joachim boldt, one of the watchtower's “bloodless medicine” experts.
a notorious “medical pretender” who has exposed jw's to additional needless risk.
watchtower continues to cite this source, and fails to expose him as a fraud.

Black Box Warning for WT: This phoney baloney medical advice is brought to you by a corrupt religious organization.
since leaving the jws i have become fascinated by the lds church, because of the similarities both organisations have.
in reading x-mo forums i get the impression that they tend to be not as bitter and as twisted as xjw.
this is surprising as i think the lds is a bigger con than the jws.
I think WT and ChuckyT and JudgeR are more of a con because WT has always sanitized and whitewashed their characters and their history. So much so that they will spread deliberately confusing, misleading propoganda about the two complete with legendary anecdotes to members and to others. It's not beneath WT to feed "wordly" historians or jounalists the same whitewashed "official" versions of the "truth" to give their fabricated past credibility.
Ex LDS at least know, probably not all but much of the the dirt on the of their history and founders. JWs do not. They only ever have the WT "official" versions of events.
WT has a very effective disinformation program, I'll give them that!
WT's versions of how, who, where, and what are scant, sketchy and confusing - for a reason!
With so much of WT's history smelling like bullshit it's hard not to be angry!
when i hear prayers given by brothers why do they only pray for other jws not all people??
i remember hearing a comment from my mother saying 4000 jws are affected by this...and i'm thinking yes that is sad but what about the tens of thousands other people affected?
too me it just doesn't seem right to just pray for jws but to pray for all victims.
Why pray for people who don't exist in Jehovah's eyes because they "do not know him."
To be worthy of mention in a JW prayer you need to at least be interested in becoming a jw, on the road to baptism or an active and regular (meeting attender not bowel movements) baptized JW.
i have an online ex jw friend who pointed out to me that she stumbled upon a may 15, 1999 watchtower that had pictures of governing body members autographing bibles for people.
i have no bound volumes or cd rom copies anymore so i can verify.
two things came to mind, if this is true:.
Lamest book signing ever!
sadly it's in german, but i've been reliably informed of the crucial relevance of the moon, butterflies, owls, geckos, & mirrors in spiritistic practices - all featured in the "slave's" offering!
perhaps someone with a knowledge of german can provide a more detailed analysis.. according to this guy's forensic examination of the video, it uses spiritistic practices and symbolism repeatedly.
far too much to be a coincidence?
What gets me about the videos is they obviously have a prop department with crosses and statues and religious symbolism, "worldly" images etc to be able to place these items strategically in camera shot and a costume department with cross necklaces etc for the "actors" to wear.
If these items are so demonically bad then how do they justify having a supply of them on hallowed WT ground?
Does that mean ordinary JWs can have these items for re-enacting bible stories at home?
i have it in spanish for now: .
1 de septiembre de 2017 a los cuerpos de ancianos asunto: protección de los menores contra el abuso.
please send this letter to me from any branch you have access to, in any language.
Par 14 = seriously f**ked up.
so ... situation:.
a baptized married couple, with no privileges that we know of, have opened their home to 2 unmarried regular pioneers because of the pioneers' financial issues (limited income).. - husband works from home.
- wife doesn't work and stays home or in service.
So pioneers couldn't live in a boarding house type of arrangement?
Why don't they just insist on chastity belts and pioneers could be safe from temptation everwhere.

judge orders jehovah’s witness to release molestation files.

Disgusting hypocritical cult!
thursday, august 31. jehovah knows those who belong to him.—2 tim.
2:19.. in recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of those partaking at the memorial of christ’s death.
that trend contrasts with the decrease in the number of partakers that we saw for many decades.
If they get too many partakers they may have to change the memorial bread.
i am not sure if anyone heard but it does appear that the mcfarland v watchtower lawsuit has been settled.
the court only shows that it was settled so there was no longer a need for a status conference.
that is all that i know on this.
So, please, tell us what you think bout that JD, I'm just dying to know.
You show me yours and I'll show you mine or is this a trap to get everyone telling you what they honestly think over and over and over for several pages, in good faith, so you can tell them they're wrong, or just ignore them.
